We had excellent feedback from our audience on the day, and subsequently, about the quality of that event and the very evident knowledge that you were able to contribute to the discussion.
I have also read your piece (op ed on Libya of 31 March 2011) ... with considerable interest, which again reflects your expertise in this area."
